Month / December 2014

I packed Ronaldo and Di maria and after the recent maintenance I found both my players missing from my FUT club. I have been waiting for 10 days and they eventually gave me only 50,900 coins for my players. This is a not acceptable from EA. I will never buy an EA product again. Fifa 15 is the last one for me and besides nobody can play this game because of things such as cheating. This game makes people really angry because you cannot play the game properly. If the game wants, you win, if the game wants, your opponent wins. You cant control your players it’s EA predetermining the outcome of the game. Regarding missing players, Ea don’t care because EA FIFA 15 Coins only want our money. ?f they don’t give me my missing players (Ronaldo and Di maria) they know i will buy fifa points and continue to open packs but i will never give any more money to this company. This is my last message in this forum. Ea you must know now you are making a lot of money but if a good football game was released you will lose all of your customers because you are making a lot of mistakes and don’t fix them or the issues in the game. A lot of players sense something is off with the game yet you constantly deny everything and now you can ban me but you must be sure i will share these problems and your mistakes wherever I wish. Is it really hard to investigate and find 2 player of a FUT club in 10 days? I know you wont give me my players and you want me to buy more fifa points but I won’t. Sorry for my bad English. I am only trying to post about my problem and i know you wont fix this

Ahead of the much anticipated release of FIFA 15 Coins, game developers EA Sports have already given us something to whet our appetites. But the newly revealed Top 50 players will cause some contention!

As it is every year, the new rankings before the game’s release gets people talking. Each of us may think that we’re so much better at FIFA than the rest of our friends (I am, trust me) but what good are you if you don’t have the tools to work with? Endless debate rages on over who should be the highest rated players on each edition of the franchise, and with good reason.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but that’s what helps make FIFA so great. The game play is second to none, but the banter is priceless – and that can start in earnest from the September 26th release date.

Of course, some players are so gifted that they can even take FIFA minnows – lets take Danish club Brondby as an example – to overcome the biggest clubs in the game. But for the majority, the newly revealed ratings for the game’s best players will be very important to their leisure time over the next year or so.

So, are the players worthy of their rating this year? FIFA are usually pretty accurate with their overall decisions, but opinion will no doubt be split over who should be the best ranked from the top two players on the planet, as well as from the plethora of other players gracing the world’s greatest clubs. Read on to find out if every one of the top fifty are worthy of their ranking.

Don’t get fooled by the small amount of games our club has played. We’re a small group of players that decided to create a new club to climb the leaderboard. We’re all very experienced players.

We have several rules that we stick to:
– The managers always decide which position anyone is playing
– Everybody can have criticism, but we want people to tell eachother normally. We don’t like people to fight and swear
– We play a passing game. There’s no FIFA Coins place for dribbling the whole game
– If you trial for a position don’t expect to play any other position if it’s already taken.
– If you join the club we want you to have a mic
– We want to stay active every night. Ofcourse you can skip now and then, but try to be there a lot.

At the moment we’re looking for:
– CDM
– CB
– GK
– Striker

Hello and welcome to my 4-2-3-1 (2) guide, i’ve been meaning to do something like this for the past couple years but my laziness always got the better of me. Oh well, new fut, new opportunities huh?

I consider myself a really good player (ego included) and have found this formation to be the most effective for the online division 1 competitive game, if you want to Buy FIFA 15 Coins play cups, this is not for you. I only play divisions.

Does it need an introduction? I would say no. Every single person that’s familiar with football is familiar with the 4-2-3-1 formation since it is one of the most popular formations of the modern game and one of the most balanced and difficult to break down while providing enough attacking outlets.

Defense

The defense is made up by a typical back four, 2 full backs and 2 centerbacks, nothing new here.
The fullbacks: I like to use attacking fullbacks on both sides, pace is recommended but not essential. You can get away with most around 70+ pace fullbacks if you are a capable defenders, I like a bit of height on them since they sometimes have to defend the occasional header, but it’s not as bad as FIFA 14. Make sure they have good passing stats and dribbling. you will find yourself using your fullbacks to kickstart attacks more often than not.

Not much to say here, get the centerbacks with who you feel comfortable playing, I recommend a centerback with 75+ pace to deal with the Doumbias and Musa’s of this world, make sure that your CBs not only has pace but that he has actual good defensive stats. I’ve noticed stats do make a difference this year, specially when it comes to manual tackles and slides. Workrates depend on your style of play, I usually don’t mind workrates as long as the CB is good.

You can either use 2 juggernauts CBs ala Chiellini and Kompany or you can use ball playing CBs ala hummels and Pique or a mix of both. I personally have had the most success using at least 1 ball playing CB who can distribute the ball out of the back without misplacing passes, 75+ short passing is recommended.

Midfield
Now this is where it gets interesting, the 4-2-3-1-2 has IMO the most complete midfield out of all the formations, sure you lose 1 striker in comparison to 41212 and 352 but you’ll see that you’ll get a plethora of attacking options with such a midfield.
The midfield as you can see is distributed between 2 CDM, LM, RM and a CAM which provide both wide and central outlets as well as more than enough defensive cover in the form of 2 CDMS.

Center Defensive Midfielders

Here’s where your playstyle and what you want to achieve while playing comes into a play, this formation has 2 defensive midfielders which means you can accomodate players in this position that wouldn’t make the cut in 1 CDM formations, particularly the deep lying playmaker type of player and the complete midfielder with freedom to go up and down the pitch.

You basically have 3 options when it comes to your defensive mids.

Play with 2 destroyers: playing with 2 pure cdms will make you become a brickwall when defending, they will run, chase, tackle and get the ball back all game. Doing this will take away offensive bite but will provide extra defending power for those who don’t feel 100% confident with defending this year.

1 Destroyer + 1 deep lying playmaker: The destroyer needs to be fast, with High defensive workrates, strong and with a decent passing stat on him. He will more often than not have to double his effort when it comes to defending to allow the luxury of having a deep lying playmaker in the team.

Few FUT players can say that they use or have had a lot of success when it comes to using a deep lying playmaker who will most of the time be slow and not contribute a lot in the defending part of the game, however, when pulled right, it’s a thing of beauty. This formation was made for guys like Pirlo and Xavi who can thrive under the protection of a dedicated cdm and the space to operate with the ball. Pirlo specially is amazing and way better than in the last 2 UTs IMO. This is my favorite CDM combo.

1 dedicated cdm + 1 workhorse: Sorta like the 1st option, with the difference than you can move the ball forward quicker using your workhorse, usually a player with h/h workrates, decent pace and good passing stats who can move the ball forward effectively albeit not as good as a playmaker but that can make up for it with hard work. This combo is also very effective.
There’s also a 4th combination which is using a complete midfielder/workhorse + a deep lying playmaker, it’s also effective but you will have to be extra careful because your workhorse (vidal for example), will tend to move up the pitch, leaving you exposed or only with the deep lying playmaker as cover, however, It can work and I’ve had some success with it.

The official EA Sports FIFA on Twitter has confirmed they are working with Sony and Microsoft while the FIFA 15 FUT servers seem to be down today. As most of Product Reviews readers are aware by now, PSN and Xbox Live are under attack and have been offline for most of December 25.

Many developers are updating gamers directly on their official Twitter channels, so as expected, we see the same from EA Sports. While it might first look like EA’s servers are down, the fact is PS4, Xbox One, and older consoles are not able to connect or sign-in due to a DDOS directed at Sony/Microsoft.

The latest Xbox Live and PSN Status update details services as offline, or “Core Services” being “Limited for Xbox One and 360 owners. This is the biggest outage we have seen in years and of course, it’s on one of the biggest days for online gaming.

You can see the said tweet left by EA Sports FIFA above, which basically answered a question from one FIFA 15 owner that wanted to know why “Ultimate Team is down”. EA made it clear they are “working together” with their “partners to resolve this situation as soon as possible”.

If you try to access most online areas of a PS4 and Xbox One, you will receive error codes. For example, NW-31456-9 is given when trying to see your friends list on PS4, but this is down and PSN is offline right now.

Have you been able to play FIFA 15 online on Dec 25, or any EA FIFA 15 Coins game for that matter?

I love this game. EA FIFA 15 Coins have done an amazing job recreating real life football. It’s not perfect, I know. But it’s getting real damn close. When I face an opponent actually willing to play good football, it is so enjoyable.

However! Most of the people I face, let’s say 3/4, are so obsessed with getting the laziest, cheapest wins possible. I am past the point of finding pace + high pressure annoying. It is just boring now! I can’t even be bothered cutting off zigzag runs.
I try to get my enjoyment out of playing my own game, win or lose. And I advise anyone reading this to do the same. It has changed the game for me.

Next time you feel like cursing this game or EA, ask yourself what it is you’re actually annoyed by.

I just get bored. If I’m playing single matches and it’s a draw at fulltime against someone playing like a * I just score an OG. That way I don’t have to put up with another 30 in game minutes of terrible gameplay, followed by a penalty lagfest and I’m on to the next game against a no doubt more enjoyable opponent!

Went up 4-0 in a Div 1 game just then so me and my opponent resorted to trying to score with our keepers.
